Looking through the glass

Day one ~ a new month, a new day, a new set of downs, just like football.   I wanted to sleep in today but I awoke with this post in my heart and instead of going back to sleep and catching some zzzzz's here I am typing it out for you to read now or many days later. (Its fun to type these out and know that anyone could read these, days, weeks, generations later.)

I like that, who needs sleep...lol.

A quote....

“Just look down the road and tell me if you can see either of them."

I see nobody on the road." said Alice.

I only wish I had such eyes,"the King remarked in a fretful tone. "To be able to see Nobody! And at such a distance too!”

― Lewis Carroll

Oh if we could see the future, if we could look down the road and see anything that would lead us, I guess that is why we have God and why we pray the Lord's Prayer....

'...And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'

That will have to do....we have our heart, our feelings and our little voice inside that says 'wait, stop, think first'...sometimes we just don't listen or pray first.

Stop...Listen....Pray...Give thanks...Ask for wisdom.

Who does not love to go to the zoo or pet store.  All the cute, cuddly and you just want to love animals.  They put this glass many times in between us.  They even ask us not to tap on the glass...and what to almost all of us do...tap..tap, tap... What the animals on the other side must think.

My thought today is what if you had the chance to tap, tap, tap on our glass that surrounds your world.  What would you think about you? What would you say about now?

We all think in that world of me, our ego drives us to the next destination that it sees fit for us.  We go along, playing our song and sometimes on auto pilot we just do with out much thought. We just do....

Here is a thought, what if we slowed down just a bit, and took a small leap, for some a giant leap, outside our ego and tapped on our glass.  What if we asked these four little questions.

What are you doing?

What do you really want?

Are you on the road to getting there?

What would you do if you were free?

Think about it, during your next major event in your life, take sometime and tap, tap, tap....and look from the outside looking in at your event.

What are you doing?

Is it really in line with your goals, do you have goals written down? Do you think your on the right path and direction?

What do you really want?

A quick review of your actions, thoughts and feelings right now. What if anything is in conflict with what your really want for you.

Are you on the road to getting there?

A change of direction if needed?  A prayer to ask for wisdom?  A stop and lets slow it down a bit maybe sort of action.  If you listen and truly listen to that still soft voice from within you will make the right choice.  Oh it may not be popular with your ego self but it will be right.

Is it not what you truly want, to be right, to do right for you?

Last question as you tap, tap, tap on your looking glass.

What would you do if you where free?

Stop, your saying, what do you mean by that...I am free...right?

We all have things that bind us, slow us down, prevent us from unstoppable bliss.  Maybe its fear, the unknown, our health, our feeling of wanting more....  These things can bind us, slow us down, cause us to feel caged.

So what of it?  What if you where free of these things, what if you just woke up one day, one moment, one minute and said ....

I am free!

Free from fear.

Free from worry.

Free from taking care of stuff that I know pass over to God.

Lord give me wisdom, give me that wisdom in my interaction with others today.  Help me Lord, to leave any worries, any fears, any illness with your loving touch.

Help me Lord to make a difference, to shine my light, to inspire another to smile, to be whole again.

A simple prayer, but a prayer that in the end says I am now free.

Tap, tap, tap.....everyone should look through there own glass once in awhile.  You might just see what Alice in the quote from the start didn't see......seeing something is always better than not looking at all.

Dream ~ Smile ~ Laugh~ Love always

and as always smiles sent out to you!  : )

Something more amazing : )


May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous,

leading to the most amazing view.

May your mountains rise

into and above the clouds.

~Edward Abbey

A wish for you today, this day that your day be amazing!

Lets define amazing; From the Online Dictionary

–adjective

causing great surprise or sudden wonder.

Every step in life can be amazing if you use that definition you would have to agree.

The nightly news is amazing.

The person next to you driving by texting, reading, multitasking along who seems oblivious to anything around him.  That is amazing as well.

The world is full of amazing things.

Amazing - great surprise and wonder......

Watch this video....

 

Now that is amazing, wanted to share something that was shared by another.

The last line in the video

If you don't get a miracle.....Become one

We all can become amazing, we all have had that moment of surprise, awe, wonder when we became that amazing moment in the life of another.

Amazing....

Be that smile that lights another persons day

Be that laughter that is shared with another, lifts their spirit higher.

Be that change agent that makes a gloomy day something more, just because you were in it.

We can be all that and more, for ourselves, our family, and those around us.  Something More....

A quote that I will leave you with a Chinese proverb


I hear: I forget / I see: I remember / I do: I understand

Do something more...

Dream ~ Smile ~ Laugh~ Love always

and as always smiles sent out to you!  : )

Sizzling Saturday *New* August 27, 2011


Happy Saturday everyone and the last in the series on the word 'sizzle'.  
Starting with the new month I unwrap a new format for each day.  I hope to share it with you next Thursday but each day will have a purpose for your spirit but no longer will I label them by the day of the week.  You could read them any day and get what you need from them. So I hope you look forward to that.
My last question for you on this topic of sizzling is this.  When you enter the room, or get with a friend do you bring a sizzle with you?
Do you sizzle? or Do you fizzle?
Heck no one wants to fizzle, no one wants to be a drag, a downer.
But some are, sad to say some are.
So how would one sizzle as they enter a conversation, a room?
Three Steps
A smile of the heart and spirit
Eyes wide open with energy and direct eye contact to whom ever you speak with.
Head up, shoulders back and a walk with purpose.
Thats it!
A smile that brings life to a conversation.  People ache to be around good news, they so sadly come upon bad news way to often.  The average person does not need any more drama in their life.  So bring a smile instead.
Eyes, the windows to the soul, they speak even before words are spoken.
That walk, that says I have arrived, not the strut of a peacock or rooster but the confident walk that says I belong here, I can and will add value and not take away value.
Always add Value to another person.
Bring passion with you!
"There is only one passion
the passion for happiness."
~Denis Diederot
Bring that passion for happiness with you!
You will sizzle and the world will be brighter because your in it!
So I leave you with a sizzle today in my step.  My eyes direct at the screen that sends smiles your way.  Not just today but always.
I write these posts to inspire you, to lift a spirit, to wipe away a tear.  To ease a worry, to comfort a fear.  To bring a chuckle or a moment of laughter.  To bring a smile and so I hope today has brought that to you.
But this quote explains who I am, what I am and what we all are really:
'I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things too.
So we're really not that different, me an you"
~ Colin Raye

And so our day begins....... Smile, Sizzle and enjoy your day!!!!

Fun Filled Friday *New* August 26, 2011

Happy Friday to you all : )  My goal this day is of course to give you a chuckle or a laugh and since your here reading this lets chuckle together.


One joke and three video's and a quote to start us off.


"The person who knows how to laugh at himself
will never cease to be amused."
~ Shirley MacLaine





Great concept video with a chuckle or two.


Hope you like this one even more.....





Ok so we did dogs, cats now for the birds.... : )





Now for the joke about the cat who went to heaven:


Once upon a time, there was a cat who died. When she got to heaven, God asked her how she liked being on earth. She told the Lord that it was awful, she had to sleep in cold back alleys where there was no food and life was hard. God told her that he was sorry it had had turned out that way but here, in heaven, she would be happy and He would give her the most comfortable, warm pillow to sleep on. The cat laid down upon the pillow and was happy.


A few days later, about a dozen mice that came to heaven together and God asked them how they had liked earth. Earth was no better for them than it was the cat.


They explained to God that it was tough and exhausting and their feet were worn out from always running from cats and dogs and people. God felt bad for the mice and decided to give them rollerskates.


One day God sees the cat again and asked her how she was liking heaven. She explained that it was absolutely wonderful. The pillow he gave her was the most comfortable place that she had ever slept on, but even better than the pillow were the meals on wheels.


LOL...Meals on wheels indeed.....


Smiles to you this day, the last Friday of the month.


If your in the path of hurricane Irene, please stay safe, the one precious possession that you can't replace is your life.


The other stuff will come and go....but you are irreplaceable.


Have a great day everyone : )

Walking Through Wednesday *New* ~August 10, 2011



Happy Wednesday and here is a wish that today you will have a song in your heart that expresses pure joy, a step that has passion and excitement and a dream that is much bigger than you. Anyone can have these three things you just have to experience them just once and keep the desire to have them forever.
Do you remember the first time you felt loved. The sheer joy and passion you had when you were around that person. The tingle in your pulse the rise in temp that told you how good this felt.
Do you feel that when your around you?
A quote about everyday love and joy:



"You never lose by loving.
You always lose by holding back."

~ Barbara De Angelis 




Don't every hold back on your love.  Don't ever lose or misplace that first feeling that you had when you felt your first love.
Love for oneself is perhaps the greatest and most important love of all.
"If you aren't good at loving yourself,
you will have a difficult time loving anyone,
since you'll resent the time and energy you give
another person that you aren't even giving to yourself"

~ Barbara De Angelis
The cause and effect of love is simple.  You have love to give because you understand love of oneself.  Then you will have an effect on loving others and wanting to spread in the joy and excitement.
The pure joy of love is like watching rain fall in a waterfall it keeps giving complementing the heavy fall of water but never taking anything away from it.  Just giving and sharing in its power and grace.
Thats what pure and unconditional love does it gives. It makes things better. Never taking away just giving.  The feeling and sense of being is so great you just want to give back, share forward and so you do.
May you have that love in your life.
Today -- Everyday.
Enjoy your day everyone and smiles to you all across the miles!
